Opinion & Prospective

Dan’s Take on How Things Really Work. Truth, Consequences, and Comedy—Occasionally in that Order.

If you’ve ever felt like the official story doesn’t match what you’re seeing, you’re not alone.

Policies, markets, and institutions don’t just “happen”—they produce consequences. Some intended. Many not.

I break down what’s going on (and what’s really driving it) with sharp observations, plain-English logic, and a bit of humor- sifting through the lies, deceptions, and illusions to find the truth.
